WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE TOY SEWING MACHINE

This unusual toy sewing machine adorned with a clown was auctioned at the ISMACS auction in London, England. The bidding went quickly to 6,000 pounds and then was down to two strong bidders, neither wanting to give up on the chance of having this toy sewing machine. The last two bidders were an English industrial sewing machine dealer and a German millionaire. Finally, when the Englishman bid a whopping $13,600, the German quietly did not bid.

The toy sewing machine was designed by Max Sandt and was created in Germany. As far as anyone knows there are only four clown toy sewing machines left in existence.
